1. What is the consequence of DNA being packaged into chromosomes in living organisms?
2. How do mutations differ in their roles regarding hereditary diseases and evolution?
3. What is the effect of sigma factors recognizing specific DNA sequences during bacterial gene regulation?
Hereditary units — definition?
Chromosomes, genes, and alleles are hereditary units.
Mutations — role in evolution?
Mutations introduce genetic variation, driving evolution.
Gene regulation — in prokaryotes?
Occurs mainly at transcription initiation, involving operons.
Gene regulation — in eukaryotes?
Includes post-transcriptional processes like splicing and epigenetics.
Type VI secretion system — regulation?
Regulated genetically, involved in bacterial interactions.
Iron-dependent regulation — in E. coli?
Fur protein binds DNA; methylation affects sci1 gene expression.
